Why current violence means we need the Second Amendment EVEN MORE!
Something I wrote about this picture to explain the Second Amendment as necessary and proper, even in light of the current violence in the country:
"A Korean neighborhood in Los Angeles survived riots that destroyed the area around them, because they were armed. Something similar happened in Ferguson a couple of years ago. Ultimately, it boils down to the idea that to have to submit to criminality is repugnant. We may not be able to take the law into our own hands, but to mandate by law and condition the common decent and rational person to stand down to criminal, insurrectionist, and terrorist threats goes against every sense of human dignity. To put it in more liberal terms, it is the ultimate violation of 'human rights.'"
